Angel

A twenty-two year old gets captured because of a mistake on the part of his boyfriend. In captivity he meets a man named Mikhail who does nothing but torture him. And yet as time passes and the captive/prisoner game goes on, a Stockholm syndrome type relationship begins to form. But is Mikhail as 'bonded' with his captive as he says he is? Or is this a ruse to further torment him?

Book One: Ty and 'Angel' are having a rough time of it. Even though they love each other, it's obvious Ty has a connection with his past life of being a contract killer and it's hard for him to let go of the violence. In order to make Mason (Angel) feel safe, Ty tries everything in his power, including fabricating stories to make it seem like everything is fine, even when things are not even close to being 'fine.' His tendency to keep Mason in a happy and 'safe' frame of mind is a losing game and when Ty ends up killing the son of a mob boss by mistake, Mason too will have to pay for it.
